SHOP.1 NEXUSⅦ. (3F)
Mr. Takahashi's first stop was here, a familiar place for HOUYHNHNM's "Vintage Summit" project. It is the first flagship store bearing the brand name. Mr. Takahashi chose a bag made by special order with "PORTER," the world's first nylon material dyed with gentian. The color is not too strong, but light, so it will be easy to take in," he said. Although you can't tell from the appearance, the background of the production is also very appealing," says Takahashi.
SHOP.2 KENZO (2F)
I think the trend was to wear big-size tops and loose pants, but the jacket I chose this time is compact but has thick arms, and I would like to wear it with thick pants like I am wearing now. I would like to match it with thicker pants like I am wearing now. Kenzo has changed designers this season, and the brand logo has been renewed. The brand has returned to its roots of respecting diversity and offers a lineup of flexible items.
SHOP.3 THE NORTH FACE LAB (2F)
Lastly, we visited "The North Face Lab," where staff members in lab coats stand in the storefront, just like in a laboratory. When new materials are developed, they are released ahead of other stores, and this is the only store in the world with this concept. Mr. Takahashi's eye was drawn to the Mountain Rain Tex jacket, which can be custom-ordered. . I like the fact that I can put in my favorite color. I want to wear it in the outdoor scene in early fall or when it is cooler," says Takahashi.
Here are the items Takahashi chose. From left to right: Mountain Rain Tex Jacket ¥49,500yen+tax- *Price varies depending on order details, HELMET BAG GENTIAN-1 ¥34,000yen+tax, Jacket ¥62,. ¥62,000yen+tax
